Anders rented a suite located on the inn’s third floor. The suite consisted of three rooms, one room was for Anton, a room for Anders and the third room was for Anna. Anton overheard Anders that he would let the other people in the caravan handle their lodgings and Nemina would handle giving out the budgets to them.

Anton knew that a lot of their companions like Nemina and Lucas and their children Devon and Lunelle rented the rooms on the second floor. The others did the same things as Anna’s maids, Frederick, and Colin. He didn’t know where the vampires slept but his father told him that the vampire would appear every time he called them by just saying Zenoxus's name loudly which Anna said she found creepy. He laughed when he heard her sister say that and told her that it was part and parcel of having vampire servants.

After everyone was settled in their rooms, they all went to the inn’s common room or the inn’s restaurant as the innkeeper said to eat lunch. They welcomed the food that was prepared by the inn’s chefs and everyone ate heartily. They talked about the city while they were eating but Anders said that they would have a meeting after lunch so everyone just ate and held themselves off in talking about business.

Anton, his father, Anna, and the others were seated at the table inside the suite that Anders rented. They were planning their next move. Nemina and Lunelle were both carrying notebooks ready to note down important points.

The first thing they talked about was the plan to search for a mansion or manor that Anders would purchase. This team would be headed by Frederick. The next one was to sell the items that were repaired by Anton in their possession and this one was going to be handled by Nemina and Lucas. Anders would head the group that would look for weapons and armor that were worn out and broken that they could purchase at a very low price that Anton would repair. Lunelle and Devon would head a group of their own to purchase other things like clothes and other antique stuff that would be very valuable when repaired by Anton.

“What about me?” Anna asked Anton.

“You and Anton can explore the nearby location guarded and you will be followed by some of our guards to make sure that you are both safe. It’s for us to know the status of the city and some of its merchants. Anton, please allow your sister to join your exploration since this is a big city. I don’t want you galivanting on your own,” Anders told Anton.

At first, Anton wanted to protest but then stopped himself. They were not in a rush now and planned to stay in the city permanently so he would have the chance to explore it on his own. He knew for a fact that during the first few days, they would do nothing but look around shops or something like that.

“Father, I need coins since I gave you all the gold coins that were with me. I could go ahead and sell some items that I enchanted but I would rather that you handle that business with Nemina and Lucas,” Anton said so Anders handed him a coin purse with one hundred gold coins inside.

“We are staying in this city permanently so we are not in a rush. Take your time and make sure that every transaction that you have made is the best one especially you Frederick. We want to set somewhere comfortable so you have to make sure that the manor or mansion that we would purchase would have comfortable amenities.”

Since the government would still have to invite everyone to settle some citizenship paper and business papers and the vampires would still be interviewed, they couldn’t do those plans right away and would probably only be able to do so after several days.

After their meeting, Anders invited Lurien the high wizard to the suite so they could ask him questions on what they needed to do next to fulfill all their government duties. When Lurien entered he was followed by a couple of men who looked like clerks and they were acting as Lurien’s secretaries. Anton then told his father that he didn’t want to join the meeting with Lurien and would go to his room to meditate since they couldn’t even go out without those official papers and I.D.s and told his father that once he needed to do something he would just follow their instructions.

Anders nodded and Lurien didn’t react since it was common for archmages to do their own thing and not involve themselves in common day-to-day business.

“Anton, there’s a bathroom in my room so can you please fill it out with water?” Anna told his brother.

Anton saw that Lurien and his secretary were shocked when they heard Anna requesting water from him, an archmage. Anton ignored the high wizard and his secretaries but when Anna noticed it, she defended herself.

“Brother can conjure magic water that makes my skin fair and beautiful,” Anna said to the high wizard and his men, and when Anders heard what his daughter said, he just sighed.

Anton couldn’t fault his sister since both he and his father did the same thing which showed their family’s inexperience but to be honest about it, he didn’t care since he was now a powerful archmage based on the orb of truth that archmage Voduria brought with her and his sister was also a novice mage which was a respectable profession. Experience could be gained in time but Anton’s power, which was available now, couldn’t be denied by anyone and Lurien knew that.

Anna did blush though since she knew she made the mistake of sharing information that was supposed to be hidden but when she observed her father and Anton, she saw that they weren’t mad at her so it relieved her.

Anton went to Anna’s room followed by his sister and her maids while Lurien talked to Anders regarding what they needed to do to complete all the government paperwork. After he was done filling his sister’s bathtub with mana water, he also retrieved a huge tub from his inventory placed it inside the bathroom, and filled it with mana water so Anna’s maids could take a bath as well.

He was just glad that Nemina hired a few women who brought their family with them as their laundresses so Anton didn't have to use Charsi as a washing machine since it was a bit undignified to use a powerful NPC to clean their clothes. He still asked Charsi to repair his clothes though since the repair function of the NPC also cleaned his clothes thoroughly. He then wondered if he should think of creating an enchanted item that could wash clothes. He bet it would be very popular with women then again he wondered if there was some sort of spell that could automatically clean things just like the spells that Anton had read in some web novels. He decided to note it down and would ask a salesperson once he went to a store that sells spells.

He remembered reading a web novel about a transmigrator who uses a very powerful aura to clean things. It was one of the best novels he had read so he decided to search for it on a famous web novel website to reread it.
